Chapter 5: The vision...

Seifer had never been so rushed in his life. He had said he would be there, in Sullen's room in a few minutes, but because of the mysterious boy he had taken an hour to get to his room. He showered quickly and dressed even more fast if possible. Not caring to dry his short hair, he hurried to Sullen's room. He knocked. A servant came opening the door. He went inside finding three worried people in the living room.

The three looked at him. Immediately they got shocked looks on their faces. Three Seifers were heard at the same time. Sullen rushed to him hugging him.

"We were worried about you! Hyne, you scared me so much!! I was already thinking the worst Seifer. We were already thinking the worst, even Olian! What happened?!" asked Sullen releasing Seifer.

"When I arrived my room, I sat down on the bed waiting for servants with the clean cloths and I guessed I fell asleep and....what?" he said seeing that the others didn't believe in a word he was saying.

"We searched your room....and you weren't there." Sullen said. Olian smirked, Aerith looked expectative and Seifer blushed. Hard. 'Oopss!'

"Don't lie to me, Seifer!" scolded Sullen "you know you can trust me. Did you go see anyone in the palace?! Tell me, I won't be mad..." he added carefully. Olian groaned. He hated to see his master frightened. And the only things that could get his master frightened were related to Seifer. If Seifer wasn't there and he said he would be; if he loved somebody else; if he was thinking of getting other job; etc.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth!" said Seifer firmly. Sullen flinched expecting the worst. "I was on my way out when I bumped into a boy from Esthar who was lost. This boy fell and scattered all the books and rolls he was carrying. I helped him gathering them and then he asked for my help! And you know, he had these huge, lost and embarrassed, pleading, beautiful blue eyes. I couldn't say no to him! So I had to take him to the library and then I went to my room. I didn't see the time passing in the shower until I heard the bells rang the 8 am. I'm sorry if I worried you!" Seifer said sighing.

"It was that?! Why didn't you tell me that sooner?!" Sullen scolded again but is heart was relieved. Sullen knew Seifer had a good heart, especially to a lost child giving him puppy-dog eyes. But of course he didn't know the boy wasn't exactly a child.

"I thought you'd be mad. After all I didn't keep my word intently." Seifer said hoping he never found out that the boy was almost a man.

"Seifer, when are you going to learn that I don't mind to wait for you? Next time just leave a note saying where you're going." Sullen said "Let's get going us too, we are already late for our meeting." He added leaving the room with a smiling Aerith behind him. Olian stayed behind and whispered to Seifer " Next time show me who you are giving guided tours to. I don't know if you remember but there is a killer around this palace. That boy with those huge, lost and embarrassed, pleading, beautiful blue eyes could be the assassin or someone paid to take you somewhere to be killed by the assassin."

"Hyne Olian, I didn't know you cared so much for me?!"

"I don't, Seifer, but Sullen does. And to add pain to my heart, he loves you. He would die if you died. So be careful with yourself, you hear?!" Olian stated rushing to catch Sullen.

Seifer stayed behind thinking a little and then sighed "Oh boy!"

After a long ride, they reached the Tomb of the Unknown King. There lived the Fortuneteller who Sullen had come to receive advices from.

They entered the ruins and into the labyrinth that was that tomb. With his magic powers Sullen could found the Fortuneteller blessed with the powers of water and earth, who was in the center of the tomb expecting them with her two guardians behind her: The Brothers.

She was an old woman with long gray hair and a face full of wrinkles. Her cloths were ragged and she had in front of her an opaque magic ball.

"I was expecting you, my dears! Please, I have a few things to tell you. But only one at a time." She said smiling.

"Okay, can I be the first mistress?!" said Sullen bowing.

"I know you since you were a child Lord Sullen. One of your virtues was always the politeness. Yes, you can be the first. What I'm going to say here is to the person and only for her; must not be reveled to others. Some of the things I'll say can happen or not; others are inevitable. Please wait outside you three." she said to them. They left.

"What does the future reserves me mistress?" Sullen asked.

"I'm not going to lie to you, my child. What you fear most will happen."

"Will I lose Seifer?!"

"You can't lose what you never truly had..."

"To whom?!"

"To a Mage!"

"It's inevitable?!" Sullen asked hopefully.

"Yes."

"Even if the Mage died?!"

"Would you be able to kill for him?" she asked.

"Yes. Yes, I would!! I love him."

"Yes. It's inevitable because he doesn't love you."

"I know!" Sullen said on the verge of tears.

"His fate is to leave you. And tell me one thing, what do you think he would feel if you killed the person he loves?! Don't you want him to be happy?!"

"Yes, but at my side!!" Sullen said angry.

"In time I know you will choose the right thing. You've always been a good boy with a good heart. Besides you're doing the same thing to someone very near you...But that doesn't matter now, let's go to other things."

"Yes, it's better, what's happening in the palace?!"

"You have to find out for yourself, but be aware that the events that started some days ago can and will change drastically the world you live in or even destroy it."

Sullen's eyes widen. "And what can I do to stop it?!"

"Believe your unknown blood and don't trust your known blood. That way you'll give a great help saving your own world."

"What does that mean?! You talk by enigmas!!"

"When the time comes you'll find meaning in my words! Now leave and call Olian."

Sullen bowed and left reflecting on the words of the Fortuneteller. When he left he stared at Seifer while motioning Olian to enter. Olian did so. Seifer spoke. "She talked about me, didn't she?!"

Sullen answered bitterly "The things she says are private. It's none of your business."

Seifer cringed at Sullen's tone. He wasn't used at being bitterly spooked at, especially from Sullen. He maintained himself silent, waiting for his turn.

Then Olian left and Aerith entered. Olian looked to Sullen and Seifer. She had said he had to support his master with a great loss and he knew that loss was Seifer. She also said he had to protect and welcome the other saviors. He didn't know who might they be.

Aerith left soon after with a worried face and Seifer entered.

"Come on in, my child. Ah, I see. A passionate heart and a truthful soul. You were well chosen. But you must be faithful to your heart when the time comes or you'll be lost."

"What do you mean?" Seifer asked confused.

"You'll find what you're looking for.."

Seifer thought for a while. "And what is that?"

The Fortuneteller smiled. "You'll find out!"

Seifer groaned. And the Fortuneteller continued. "You'll have two paths in front of you. One good, one bad. Only one can be chose to be against the other. They're opposite. Be careful, it's a tough choice but if you pick wrong, evil things will happen."

"But how will I know what's the fair one?!" Seifer asked worried.

"I'll give you some help: believe in the boy with the smoky eyes.."

Seifer immediately associated the smoky eyes with the gunblader of that morning "You mean Nida? The boy I met this morning. He had smoky eyes, but he's just a servant..."

"You thing that's the boy?! Well, things aren't always what they appear... Now go!"

"But ..." Seifer tried to reply.

"I have nothing more to tell you." She finished, disappearing in the air.

Seifer's eyes widened and he left, even more confused. When he reached the others he said that she had disappeared and Sullen motioned them to leave the Tomb and return home. Seifer was very quiet and thoughtful and Sullen wondered what she had said to him..

When they reached the palace, a servant was expecting Sullen to give him the news.

"Milord, your aunt refuses to come to the Council. She sent a messenger with a communication: she had a vision that a great disaster is going to happen, here! Evil forces live among us! The people are afraid, milord. Can't you do something?! We don't trust anyone else. "

"I'll talk to my mother and see what I can do." The servant bowed to Sullen.

"Thank you milord. You're an angel!! Another Mage wouldn't worry with us peasants.."

Sullen smiled. "Don't be afraid..everything is going to be fine." Then he looked at Seifer , who was looking at him. Suddenly he didn't felt so sure himself.

Above them a storm was beginning to form.
